10. Micro-Tasking:
I worked on Toloka and UHRS, which paid decently (0.3 cents per judgment, earning 2-3 dollars per hour), but it was unreliable. Tasks were easy but stressful, and you could be banned temporarily or permanently despite high accuracy.
9. Transcribing:
A boring job for content farms, but no risk of permanent bans. Correcting transcribed content from an online service with errors.
8. Data Entry:
Entered data into SPSS for a friend, not well-paying or enjoyable. Just inputting numbers, with some variation in responses.
7. App Development:
Learned coding as a hobby, enjoyed it initially. Later, taking orders for app development became overwhelming, and my interest waned.
6. Poster Making:
Skilled in Photoshop, I make posters for fun, whether paid or not.
5. Teaching:
Taught for 7 years, initially at home and later at students' homes and coaching centers. Love teaching but stopped teaching at students' homes due to tiring travel in Karachi.
4. Video Editing:
Edited videos since a young age. Made 300-400 videos for companies, though pay was low.
3. Content Writing:
Enjoyed writing but only got paid once ($7 for each 2000-word articles). Had a negative experience with a client who accused me of plagiarism.
2. Software/Hardware Troubleshooter:
Experienced in troubleshooting electronic devices, go-to person for family. Grew up around various devices.
1. Doctor:
Training job in a hospital, challenging and tiring but deeply enjoyable. Initially considered computer engineering but switched to medicine after starting having interest in biology.
